ACCOUNTS FROM ABRA,NTES, BELATIV4 TO THE MI LITARY OPERATIONS SINCE THE ENEMY AP- PROACIIED THAT TOWN. " On the sth of November, an account arrived here, stating, chat the enemy had crossed the Zezere, and retired, and on the same night the Spanish Cavalry which was there proceeded to the North of the Tagus. On the tliornihg df the 7th, Don Car- • los Hespanha advanced with his infantry. A great part of the garrison also made a sortie, and attacked the enemy u4ween Montarvo and Amoreira, but in detached parties. On the evening of the 7th, three French prisoners were brought in, and joined our troops. The attack did nut produce more effea, because the enemy made no advance. On our side we had not ont; wounded. The three prisoners were taken by three - peasants of Souto, a village about two leagues from' this town. There were six altogether, but they killed one hi consequence of • two having escaped. " We are assured that the peasants of Souto have put to flight 400 French, who were advancing from Satzedas, killed an otticer and several soldiers, and took from them two herds of cattle. On the t it was reported that the French troops which had passed amounted to 3 or 4000 men, including 1500 cavalry. It is also said that the bridge has been carried away by the rising of the river, but that the enemy have saved some of the boats which composed The Tagus has iisen more than six feet. The enemy remain at Alontalvo. " On the lett, at four in the evening, the French reconnoitred Abrantes, but were received, as usual, by salutes of artillery, which were continued until night, .when the enemy tetired. They could not, however, be much injurttl, as they kept at a yespect. lot distance; .and, were Mach spread. _Four of them entered Rio de Manilas, to plUndet., and killed a man, who, imagining they were absent,. had gone thither to endeavour ,to save some of his property: It also appea l s c er tai n t h at twO .peasanis of the auove,village 10114 .an indttidual .who had b:en. ays. in front of , the enemy, on, a white horse, and t .Frenchmen . !besides.. Oulhe same day tweive-f>easants of, the neigh bourhood of Abrantes, hrought in a French serjeant, a - deserter, from Lhe regnneni, No. 47. This Man stated that the French farce, which has crosstd the Zezere, consked ul,3,oooiafantry, and . 600 cavalry', lititit four pieces of ar: illery, small tlie 13th, the Spanish troops hating pased to the North of 'the Tagus, occupitd the neighbourhood of 11.,t) de Mulattos, tt, being Supposed. thus the ehemy met i tated an attack on ti;is place.( The garrison were all day under arms. The gpaniirds, howeter, re crossed the river, without having had afirrencounter. The enemy removed the greater part of their forces towards Porthete. " On the tabltt of the,l4th two pieces of artillery were crtaveyed to he south of the Tagus, and placed in -front of Punhete, to oppose.the ,passage of Zeiere, where :the enemy are endea%ooting to repair the reel hridge,, and make it broader. On the 15th, scott after eight in the morn i ng , .a signal fur the ad vance of the. enemy was made, but they did not ap proach., , in the Morning of the 16th a great part of the Spanish troops marched away. On the 17th, the French played ,off some ar tillery, which was Mounted, in the Fart of Con ceizarn, on the other side of the . Zezere, upon the StnevardS, kvholeturned some shots from the S.mth side of,the Tagus. The French occupied tie hills in the neighb ourhood Panhete on bath sides of tpe:Zezere w ith ther guards, and the `main body Was y‘ithin the tewn. They fete repairing the bats, they had in that river, and c ons t r aCti ng new ones. _They ,were erecting a kind of fort near the gate of the Church (.. ; )f our Lady of the Martyrs, General Loig - ,on . had the same time his had 'quar ters at Mumalve. On the 18th, in the evening, the 4th and loth reginlentsof notnguelecavalry arrived at Abrintes, two troops of Entisli cavalry, and the b:ittalion of Ckfzedores, No. 5, were also expected there. Toe enemy at that date 'still occupied the sarneposi lions." ' Lissom, Dm. O'd?nanzas have united in parties, .which purStie the enemy.' In the quar ter beyOnd the . Zeiere they have killed, since the 25th of November (their snetess . up to that date Was ,given ,in a former Gazette) about so French, many of ' %Oven were cavalry. - In a village• trz that' part of the.country (the mune of which it would not be proper tO ' , r)ention,) a barber resides, who has killed 18 French, 1 I of vai9in were cavatiy. At Serra, which is about. (two leagues, distant twin Thomar, the same Ordenanzas haVe destroyed several parties ot the enemy, and only gave up that post when . they Were attacked by a very superior force but, in changing their position, they did not change their de termination. In ,Setra deP.itcilo,,towards Leh la, our peasants (constitiati-og what is in this country called Ordenanzas) who are real niliiiersA, attack and dt.s . - troy all the enemy's parties ; and such is their bold ness that they have attacked several corps of superior force. If the hatred 'which the inhabitants of the Pe ninsula have to the French yoke has been subdued in less valorous places, so that the enemy, by lung and repeated sacrifices, may have succeeied in esta blishing his ink, with towns like those mentioned above, all sacrifices for such an objet are vain, for in truth-all his power is insufficient to accomOish• it. What can resist the colossal'-mass of fifteen millions' of people, all armed, and' -all cum bating a barbarous and distant invader ? Death ho vers round his columns, and sooner or later he must fall. The more the peasants lose, the lucre irri tated they are. Many of thew have been 'lewd tai exclaim--" Since I am ruined, I have nothing to &lint to avenge myself, and 16 pillage the enemy also." It may be said that the grand attack on the French, both in Spain and Portugal, is now only about to commence. --(Lisbon Gazette, Dec. 10.)

ANTONIO PIRES ALVARES DE MIRANDA, Sec. to the CoiMcil of the Admiral:y. The follow are extracts from Private' Letters : " LtsaoN, Dsc. 9.—The French have entrenched • themselves in, Santarem, from which it appears that they do not intend to attack Lisbon soon. Several fortifiCations have been thrown up on the other side of the Tagus, between Coina mid Almeida, and,it appears that we are to have a never 7 ending cam-• paign. We are, therefore, ali quite tranquil here,- and have no fear that the enemy can enter Lishon,• as the English have secured its defence. The ves- . sets which have lately sailed, have carried with them no passengers, which shews that there is now great confidence in the result of the campaign. " DEC. 1 0.--An Officer arrived here from the army. He reports that Massena has removed his main force to the Piaius of Pomball, and only left 800 men at Santarem. Provisions are dear, but salt fish is in abundance. All is quiet here, and there has been no change of position in our army !" PROM ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. A few days ago, we heard by accounts from head-quarters, that ii. was likely the French would remain between Santarem and Abrantes during the .winter; and to confirm this we are told, that Alas sena had satisfied himself ith the command of the greater part of' the river. If t hi; be. true, we are likely to have a long•campaign."
